But to go to the showcase, the band needs over fifty-thousand dollars and today the Music Ambassador Shyne Barrow made a presentation to the band. Digicell handed over twenty thousand dollars, while the Belize Tourism Board gave five thousand dollars and the Office of the Music Ambassador pledged five thousand dollars. We were at today’s handing over of the funds. Here’s more from the event.
